Why Are Airplane Windows Round Instead of Square?

Why Are Airplane Windows Round Instead of Square? Have you ever wondered why airplane windows are always round instead of square? It turns out this small design detail was born from one of the biggest engineering lessons in aviation history. In the 1950s, early jet airliners suffered catastrophic failures in midair, leading investigators to discover a surprising weakness hidden in square windows. In this video, we'll explore the tragic story of the Comet jet, how cabin pressure affects an aircraft, and why modern airplanes use rounded windows to keep passengers safe at 35,000 feet. Sometimes the smallest design changes make the biggest difference.
